Rubber gasket failed due to age

I learned that I could clean the window in the oven door. In taking it apart I saw that the gasket had fallen into the oven door. I found the part online, it arrived in three days. I removed the metal part of the door, removed what was left of the old gasket and put in the new one. Put the metal part of the door back on, and it was as good as new.

original light grey color grates stained and unsightly--no amount of scrubbing or cleansers would make them look nice.

Opened the box and took out the black color grates~~removed discolored grates and put the new ones on. Looks like a brand new stove and much nicer to look at as it is the first thing you see when you enter the kitchen.

HAD TO CHANGE THE KNOB I COULD NOT READ IT

PULLED THE OLD KNOB OFF AND PUT THE NEW ONE ON. ONLY THING THAT WAS DIFFICULT WAS MAKING SURE THE KNOB WAS THE RIGHT ONE BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS KEPT LEADING ME BACK TO A DIFFERENT BRAND OF APPLIANCE BUT SINCE THE PHOTO LOOKED ALIKE I WENT AHEAD AND GOT IT.

Door Spring Broke

Removed 7 screws on sides and one on top of stove. Replaced both springs (only one was broken but did both). Took around 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish.Fastest shipping in history during holidays without paying anything extra.

l removed the top section after the grates. Then l took the phillips screws out of the three brackets which hold the L brace which supports the controls,thermostat and the regulator. Only because l did not have a closed-end ratchet wrench for 1/4" and l could not locate my 1/4" socket for my small rachet. l disconnected all gas lines and the thermocouple, then l used the power screwdriver without the apex which makes it a great power 1/4" nutdriver and took out the two screws holding the thermostat. Then l just reversed all the steps installing the new thermostat and once l got the air out and gas was pure l lit the pilot lights and everything worked great. And l adjusted my top burner pilot lights a little higher to prevent them from gettig blown out so easy. Done deal.
